My first armour purchase. Sorry Mykaru - I know it should have been you.  |

With a bit of TLC they should be quite handsome. Plan on using them for fighting, casual wear at an event, or display only?

Deconstruction for research.
I am interested in the construction details. I choose this pair deliberately as they closely match Bryant's shino-suneate pattern.
If a 'tsubo-suneate' shows up, I will probably try to get one of those as well.

Trevor (Toraba on eBay) sells them from time-to-time. You could email him to see if he has some laying about.

Trevor has some good stuff AND he knows what he's talking about. If he doesn't have what you want, drop me a line, I can find most anything in the antique shops I know. Some of it won't cost your firstborn either  . Standard stuff is actually much more reasonable than grotesques. Just the market over here. |

Yep, that's where I got all my stuff from when I first started collecting. Once Trevor knows you and knows what you collect, he is more than willing to work with you. Like Mykaru said, his prices are good too. |
